...Senator Samuel J. Ervin Jr. looks and sounds like the quintessential Southern Congressman. Jowls drooping and eyebrows cascading, he drawls tall tales about good ole boys back home in hill-country North Carolina. In rambling Senate speeches, he quotes the Bible, Jefferson and Kipling; he opposes most civil rights bills and accuses the Supreme Court of killing the Constitution's meaning by "verbicide." But for all his Claghornian pomp and ceremony, Sam Ervin is no archetypal Southern reactionary. He is in fact one of the Senate's ablest civil libertarians...
...Boston Patriots won the right to choose first. As expected, they picked Heisman Trophy Winner Jim Plunkett, the strapping Stanford quarterback who was everybody's all-everything. Not to be denied in the Year of the Quarterback, the New Orleans Saints then snapped up Archie Manning from Ole Miss, while the Houston Oilers opted for Dan Pastorini of Santa Clara College, a bullet thrower who also excels at punting and place-kicking.

Him was Ole Broen-dum-Nielsen, 32, a rich Danish manufacturer of sound equipment. She had announced her engagement the week before over a Birmingham radio station. At that time Ole's bemused reaction to the news was: "I have solved Miss Kitt's electroacoustic problems. But from that to marriage is a long jump...
...explain it, the overall results of the November elections were decidedly antiliberal and anti-New Left. The G.O.P. losses in Congress were so few as to be utterly meaningless, whereas the chief targets of Nixon and Agnew-Tennessee's ole Senator Gore and turncoat Charlie Goodell of New York -were beaten...
